    The CSR I spoke to was not too keen to help. He said I could not order the paper at 9 pence because I am new to them.

    So I said I would order something today and he said delivery charge is 2.9 pounds.

    Isn't delivery charge free for first timer? Thanks in advance.

    I managed to sweet talk them to allowing me to order the paper and get the free Radio/ Hifi. I did not get the free postage as I did not realise that this is normal for 1st time orders. Once I get the order I may contact them asking for a refund on the postage?!!

    Ok......believe me when I say I will be happy to be told I'm being daft.........but where does it say 12 rolls of sellotape? I can only see 12mm x 66mm or whatever the size was. Even on the order page it still doesn't say 12 rolls.??????????

    I just tried to place an order but because I had used them before as an on-line customer I wasnt allowed to place an order over the phone. When I said the item wasnt available to orer on-line she asked if was the paper i wanted to order and when I said yes she said that was for business customers only :( Oh well

    hi allejo,

    Just click on the blue highlighjted bit that says the size and it'll take you to a link that details exactly what you get.

    I guess the small amount of VAT is inconsequential to most with prices like that.

    Surely the VAT on 90 pence cannot be 68 p though??

    There are TWO different numbers that you can ring.

    Was it the internet one or t'other?

    anyway, give the other one a try.
